#JIMMYDOESDARTS AS THOMAS COOK SPORT AND ANDERSON STEP UP TO THE OCHE TO TAKE ON A SUPPORTER IN A CLASSIC NINE-DART CHALLENGE

In his first challenge as a Thomas Cook Sport ambassador, the #JimmyDoes campaign took the cricket star out of his comfort zone as he went head-to-head in a nine-dart challenge against one lucky supporter during the PDC’s visit to Manchester earlier this month.

With current PDC professional, Stephen Bunting, on hand to offer tips and training ahead of the sporting showdown, record-breaking bowler Jimmy switched the wicket and a ball temporarily for darts and a board and took on winning fan, Chris Ford, at a nine-dart challenge.

Taking place across Thomas Cook Sport’s social media channels, the first #JimmyDoes voting campaign pitted the LTA vs the PDC, with darts coming out on top with 69% of the vote. With one voter getting the opportunity to take Jimmy on at the winning sport, Chris stepped up to the Oche for a one-on-one showdown. By close of play, it was the England cricket star who walked away with a 262 – 211 victory.

Jimmy Anderson, Thomas Cook Sport brand ambassador, commented: “It feels good to have the opening #JimmyDoes challenge and first victory under my belt! It was great to get some tips and hints from Stephen, he certainly helped take my game to the next level ahead of my match with Chris.

“Keep an eye on Thomas Cook Sports’ social channels for the next #JimmyDoes vote and you could be taking me on during my next sporting challenge!”
